Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in Vermont

Teddy Bear puppies for sale in Vermont begin at our farm in Fresno, Ohio, and ride to your door in a climate controlled van. The breed is a Shih Tzu crossed with a Bichon Frise, listed some places as a Shichon, and most settle between 8 and 15 pounds with a plush wavy coat that drops very little hair. They are calm, people focused little dogs that do as well in a Burlington apartment as they do in a farmhouse off a dirt road.

Vermont sits about ten to thirteen hours east of us, close enough that our transport service handles it as an overnight run. Homes in St. Albans, Montpelier, Rutland and Brattleboro all fall under the same flat delivery rate. If you want the full background before you start looking at puppies, our Teddy Bear puppy guide walks through temperament, grooming and the first weeks at home.

Available Teddy Bear Puppies for Vermont Families

The puppies shown below are the ones ready now. Each listing carries the price, color and go home date, and you can reserve online with a $200 deposit that transfers to a different puppy if you change your mind. Financing is available through Credova if you would rather spread the cost. We do not run a waitlist, so puppies go first come first served and one listed in the morning can be spoken for by evening. Upcoming litters are posted separately if you want to claim a pick before the puppies are born.

Every puppy goes home at 8 weeks or older, examined by Danville Veterinary Clinic, microchipped, current on vaccinations and dewormings, and covered by a written three year health guarantee. Ask for a FaceTime call if you want to watch a puppy move around before committing. Once a puppy is reserved we call to sort out travel, and delivery to Vermont is one of the choices on that call.

Puppy Delivery to Vermont

Home delivery is what most Vermont families pick, and it is what we would suggest. A professional transport service drives the puppy door to door in a custom climate controlled van, with an individual carrier, a veterinary check before departure and updates along the way. The rate to Vermont is currently $350, flat no matter where you are in the state. Vans pull out of Ohio on Tuesday mornings, New England is usually a next day arrival, and most families have their puppy within three days of scheduling. Nobody has to drive to an airport or take a day off.

Flight nanny service is the faster option and costs more, quoted per flight rather than at a flat rate. A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin under the seat, never in cargo, and hands them to you at baggage claim. Most of these are done same day. Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport is the usual landing point for Vermont, and families down in the southern half of the state sometimes ask us to route into Albany or Manchester instead since those can be a shorter drive than heading north. A health certificate is arranged before travel, and winter storms do occasionally push a flight, so some flexibility on the date helps. Size is never the obstacle with this breed, since a Teddy Bear at 8 to 15 pounds sits well under the 20 pound in cabin limit.

Farm pickup is open by appointment at the Fresno kennel, though from Vermont it means roughly ten to thirteen hours each way. Families who make the trip get to walk the property, meet the puppy's mother, and go through the vaccination record, microchip registration and health guarantee in person. You leave with a bag of the food the puppy has been eating and a blanket carrying its mother's scent. That blanket goes along with every transported puppy too, which matters more with this breed than most, since Teddy Bears bond quickly and settle faster with something familiar in the crate.

Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving Vermont Homes

The Puppy Lodge has been raising dogs for over 13 years from a five acre farm in Coshocton County, Ohio, run by the Nisley family. Litters are raised across a closed group of nearby kennels that work only with our dogs and follow our health testing, genetic testing and breeding standards. Every parent dog is owned by us and screened for temperament, health, pedigree and coat genetics before a pairing is made, and a veterinarian from Danville Veterinary Clinic comes through the kennels weekly to look over the adults and the newborn litters.

With Teddy Bears specifically we watch structure in the pairings because small breeds carry some knee and joint risk, and we start handling the face and feet early so eye trimming, teeth brushing and nail work are already familiar. Every puppy runs the ENS program from day three through day sixteen, then gets daily play with our children, and potty and crate training start before go home day. That crate work is worth paying attention to with this breed, since Teddy Bears bond hard and need practice being alone from the beginning. Vermont is a long way from Ohio, but distance does not change any of that, and the van brings the puppy to you either way.

Teddy Bear FAQs Of Vermont Families

Q: What do Teddy Bear puppies cost, and what does delivery to Vermont add?

A: Teddy Bears start at $1,995, with the final price depending on color, coat type and gender. Home delivery to Vermont is a flat $350 anywhere in the state. Flight nanny service is quoted per flight and runs higher than the van. A $200 deposit holds a puppy, and financing through Credova is available if you want to break the total into payments.

Q: How do Teddy Bears handle Vermont winters?

A: The coat is medium length and dense, so cold walks are not a problem for a healthy adult, though a small dog on a January morning in the Northeast Kingdom still wants the walk kept short. The bigger winter issue is the coat itself. Wet snow and road salt work into a curly coat and mat it up, so towel the legs and belly dry when you come in and brush through afterward. Their exercise needs are light enough that indoor play covers most of a bad weather day.

Q: How much grooming does the coat need?

A: Plan on brushing several times a week with a slicker or pin brush, and daily if you keep the coat long. Mats start at the ears, the chest and behind the legs. A professional groom every six to eight weeks keeps the rounded teddy bear look, and plenty of owners go with a shorter puppy cut to cut down on brushing. Groomers book out, so it is worth finding a shop and getting on their schedule before your puppy is old enough for a first appointment.

Q: Are Teddy Bears a good match for a household with allergies?

A: No breed truly is, but this coat sheds very little and holds loose hair instead of releasing it, which puts less dander into the air. Mild to moderate allergies often work out. Severe ones frequently do not. The only way to know is time spent around the actual puppy. Call us before you reserve if allergies are the deciding factor.

Q: Can a Teddy Bear be left alone while I work?

A: Yes, with some deliberate work up front. Both breeds behind the cross were bred to stay close to people, so a Teddy Bear can develop separation anxiety if alone time is never practiced. Build it in early with crate training, short absences that get longer, and something to chew or work on while you are gone. The ENS program gives them a head start on handling stress, but it is a head start and not a substitute for the training.

Q: Can we visit the kennel before we decide?

A: You are welcome at the Fresno farm by appointment, Monday through Saturday, and you can meet your puppy and its mother while you are there. The father is sometimes not on site if an outside stud was used. If ten hours of driving is not realistic, a FaceTime call covers most of what a visit would, and we can walk you through the health and genetic testing behind a specific pairing over the phone at 330-790-5007.
